US Attorney General dismisses contempt concerns

The US Attorney General Bill Barrr says he is not concerned that Democrats may charge him with contempt of congress as he pushes on with his investigation into the FBI.
Democrats are almost certain to hold him in contempt after the Attorney General refused to hand over the full, unredacted Mueller report.
Speaking with Fox News this weekend, the Attorney General claims the contempt proceedings are part of the 'usual political circus,' saying he is more concerned with determining whether the FBI acted improperly when investigating the conduct of Trump allies during the President's transition period in 2016.
Former FBI director James Comey has slammed the comments, saying the Mr Barr had been acting as a 'spokesman' for President Donald Trump.
